Before you complain "OH MY GOSH HE'S SUCH A SHOWOFF" remember this is part of a drum video. He's using the techniques he's discussed in his instruction. He's not just showing off, there's a reason he's doing those 32nd notes on the kick.
To me this track is the ultimate guide to heavy metal drumming. You can hear so many fills, breaks or even patterns that any metal drummer must be able to play. I love drums, I love this track (or demo) and I'm a Thomas Lang fan!!!
it always comes down to the facts... if you dont like a video than watch a different video you can never deny the talent and hard work this man has put into his craft point blank. awesome drumming
You have got to be the most talented drummer I have ever found... My 2-1/2 year old son sits on my lap and beats on the desk watching your videos. Fun.
best technique^^ never seen a drummer playing so many variations with such precision and constant quality. thank good there are drummers outside which know how to use such a giant drummset :D
What a phenomenal drummer and an even better person!!! Thomas is a super nice guy. I love the sound of this acrylic kit. I may actually like it as much as his DW kits. 😊
One of the most technically proficient drummers I've ever seen... masterful! Watch closely for the way he accents certain beats with his right foot using both a "heel up" and "heel down" approach to produce this effect in the "chorus" sections!
Its insane with his double kick! its sick that hes can add a single beat kick into a double kick with his right foot, and have his left still goign with the double. this guy can keep a beat better than a metronome
I love his foot technique. Really Inspiring. Its like he rides with his left foot while his right alternates to create an interesting double bass pattern.
Totally agree he does have that metal edge that mangini lacks. . Mangini is fenomenal but he sounds like his drumset is mAde of a bunch of pringles cans and only marks the sticks, he do not bangs them like thomas
I have his Paiste 2000 Power Ride which he used in the 80s and early 90s. My bandmate Michael Lang is his cousin and he got the cymbal from him and passed it on to me some years ago.
for all you who don't understand, I'm not saying Neil Pert Couldn't play this song, But it would take him a while at best. Mad Skill as always. thanks for the upload!
NAH...he'd probably have to practice it for a month or so before he could nail it. I mean... hes great, but most of his work is pretty standard when it comes to the the rock stuff.
This song doesn't even begin to do Thomas Lang justice. Yes, this is amazing, but at the same time, this is probably what Thomas Lang was playing before he was even conceived.
This certainly isn't the best thing I've heard from this guy, that's for sure. Still, he's a helluva player. We certainly can't deny that. Nonetheless, your point is valid in this instance. I must say, I played hard rock/metal drums for 30+ years and, after quitting just a few years ago (health reasons), I must say that there are some remarkably talented young drummers out there, today. It's a real pleasure to see/hear them. God bless 'em all - each and every one!! Drummers rule!
I'm not a fanboy, but good lord what are you talking about? Thomas Lang is the most technical drummer I've seen so far. Please check out some of his other videos and reconsider your statement.

I wouldn't care if he was showing off, that shit is hot
Ååå
Dude has the chops to be not only a show off, but a top notch show off! Love T.L.
The epitome of "control". You can tell by every hit he is an experienced session-drummer. Very impressive every time...
The volume control he has on those kick pedals is absolutely nuts, I love how warm the tone is on them.
The noticeable difference between the accents and taps on his feet is amazing.
Yes, looks like he plays taps heel down then goes heel up for the accents, staggering technical ability.
He's essentially playing ghost notes with his feet. Hella cool.
To me this track is the ultimate guide to heavy metal drumming. You can hear so many fills, breaks or even patterns that any metal drummer must be able to play. I love drums, I love this track (or demo) and I'm a Thomas Lang fan!!!
The accented kick pattern is awesome!
The definition of Awesomenessly flawless drummer
I love being able to see the beaters hitting the bass drums through the acrylic. You don't often get to see this style of playing in that manner.
it always comes down to the facts... if you dont like a video than watch a different video you can never deny the talent and hard work this man has put into his craft point blank. awesome drumming
Awesome song and very fun to play. That method is crazy. Thomas, you're the best!
This was the Thomas Lang that won me over, his ability allows him to play anything
Everyone who made it to the auditions are among the best in the business.
Can't fault the guys in DT for choosing one over the other, really.
You have got to be the most talented drummer I have ever found... My 2-1/2 year old son sits on my lap and beats on the desk watching your videos. Fun.
I love Thomas lang. Incredible foot work.
best technique^^ never seen a drummer playing so many variations with such precision and constant quality. thank good there are drummers outside which know how to use such a giant drummset :D
That was absolutely amazing. Kickass awesome.
this is hidden talent of your wedding DJ
One of the most talented these times! 🤘 A gifted person!
he is playing a double bass beat withing the double bass beat. fucking next level as fuck
+daniel lopez what
+Alan Ray lol same
What a phenomenal drummer and an even better person!!! Thomas is a super nice guy. I love the sound of this acrylic kit. I may actually like it as much as his DW kits. 😊
That was awsome sir you are amaizing
One of the most technically proficient drummers I've ever seen... masterful! Watch closely for the way he accents certain beats with his right foot using both a "heel up" and "heel down" approach to produce this effect in the "chorus" sections!
i realy like the way he gets into the music. You can easily see that he likes to play and enjoy it very much.
that sounds really really clean... i like it...!
Its insane with his double kick! its sick that hes can add a single beat kick into a double kick with his right foot, and have his left still goign with the double. this guy can keep a beat better than a metronome
Wow, that is some amazing footwork.
i love the footwork-dynamics
Hermosa batería, excelente sonido, Thomas Lang ESPECTACULAR, buenísimo!!
I love his foot technique. Really Inspiring. Its like he rides with his left foot while his right alternates to create an interesting double bass pattern.
Thomas is such a class act and pro!
Wow. T Lang is amazing. His feet must go at a 1000 miles an hour. Gr8 stuff and I hope he dose more shows in England.
Absolutley one of the worlds greatest drummers!
is anyone else shocked that his 6 bass pedal electro stuff isn't on youtube? that is what makes him the best!!
oh..my god .he is a freaking powerhouse ....
Covjek masina!
Bravo majstore!
I wish everyone who says he lacks feel or doesn't play for the music would watch videos like this.
I can't hear you over how awesome Thomas Lang is
Wonderful big Set yeaah
That ride sounds awesome.
I've played drums for a long time but this guy is awesome!!!
That double bass is taking you straight to the moon.
guy obviously works at his craft - pretty amazing dynamics and accents with the double kick
Train Of Thought intro ;)
And Rammstein's Mein Teil
in love with his kit!
Very musical.
Awesome!
I like how he uses his ankles to achieve dynamics on the bass drum, and for power he raises his heels..iI have learned a lot from this video :)
Well, isn't raising your ankles something that must be taught since he beginning?
pure brilliance. period.
Sleeveless tux with some red converse. What an OG
Esse é o SET mais bonito que já vi em toda minha vida!!!! QUE BATERA LINDAAA...
I love how all of Hudson's videos begin with As I Am by Dream Theater \m/
I would have loved to see you in Dream Theater bro!
Totally agree he does have that metal edge that mangini lacks. . Mangini is fenomenal but he sounds like his drumset is mAde of a bunch of pringles cans and only marks the sticks, he do not bangs them like thomas
plus Mangini studied same college as the other guys, just similar background. Thomas Lang is for me the undoubted top drummer on Earth right now.
Cu VV123456
Jakob Strand absolutely
@Daniel Gomez wasn't he supposed to be the one but scheduling issues came to play?
Great Kit!
Says up here that there has been 1.3 million views. Pretty sure its just like 20,000 drummers watching this 80 times each!
I have his Paiste 2000 Power Ride which he used in the 80s and early 90s. My bandmate Michael Lang is his cousin and he got the cymbal from him and passed it on to me some years ago.
congratulations
paiste are crap cymbals, they crack so easily.
the best cymbals are AAX Sabian stage crashes.
5 years old... not a nik!
This man can play. Very impressive!!!!
for all you who don't understand, I'm not saying Neil Pert Couldn't play this song, But it would take him a while at best. Mad Skill as always. thanks for the upload!
It’s peart you tool
YOU ARE AMAIZING BRO ESPECIALY THE DRUMMING STYLE
it's nice to see him go back a bit and lay down a nice tight groove.
ahh good, these are the ones i have purchased :) thanks man
Right foot says to Left foot I'm the strong one. Left foot replies, Hold my beer.
tja, was soll man sagen, einfach geil, super equipment, super ausgeführt. TOP - TL
um sonho pra qualquer baterista!!
heels down!!!!!!
Up AND down !!!
arnold schwarzenegger on the drums
They're both Austrian.
That's the austrian look.
zDrums and the same zodiac sign
xerix nope
Theycdon't call him the druminator for nothing
Those biceps 💪😍of practice shows the results
Love u LANG 💓💗💛💖♥
awesome song!
Thomas doesn't keep track of time.
Time keeps track of Thomas.
thomas lang es la mejor eleccion de baterista para dream theaterr. no ahi nadie q se adapte o cuadre mas a su estilo
I love that kit! Sonor beauty!
god the picture is hellish good on that
Purdy rare ta see ghost notes on a bass drum. Love it.
amazing
THAT DRUM SET SO COOL
Meu irmão que som massa!!!
"Bleed" by Meshuggah would be a warmup for Thomas...
You just hit a point i never thought about
NAH...he'd probably have to practice it for a month or so before he could nail it.
I mean... hes great, but most of his work is pretty standard when it comes to the the rock stuff.
But we both know, his blastbeat technique and his timing, is like the one of a clock. So I think it would not be really a challenge
Zero chance. Haake has more groove in his pinky on a Thursday night than Lang has in his entire career of playing.
Im sure he could do it. But it wouldn't be as easy as you think. Don't underestimate Tomas Haake.
soooo in love with his footwork:(
You are my idol. Nice studio, too
he's an amaizing drummer i like his style
Holy crap, that is a lot of bases! and every other kind of cymbal or drum. That set must be worth more than a car!
Perfection.
Thats one bad ass song!
dios hermano eres increible y con ese pedaso de bateria un dios
so perfect in time
they needa turn that bass pedal up!!! i wana be blasted by thomas langs awesomeness!
had a very smooth playing
Lovely.
Cool groove, nice drum set
Best cover ever
this is epic!
Double bass drum ghost notes! Impressive!
This song doesn't even begin to do Thomas Lang justice. Yes, this is amazing, but at the same time, this is probably what Thomas Lang was playing before he was even conceived.
Love his footwork

MUSCLES OF EPICOSITY!
his drum kit is so awsome :O
@DanTheMandrummer man, you're the best. you said everything.
The ending is sick.... like his bad ass foot technique..
Thomas Lang and Gavin Harrison .. Yeah, those two = Incredible ...
